Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the vanilla extract and salt.
  4. Gradually add the flour, mixing until just combined.
  5. Stir in the chopped walnuts and maple syrup until evenly distributed.
  6. Shape the dough into a log, about 2 inches in diameter.
  7. Slice the log into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
  8. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheets, about 1 inch apart.
  9. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  10. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a finer walnut texture, you can pulse them briefly in a food processor.
  • You can chill the dough log for 30 minutes before slicing for easier handling.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
